Managing Custom Names

Incident IQ allows you to customize the terminology used for assets and tickets to align with your district’s existing language. This feature updates default labels across the system to better meet your specific organizational needs.

You can apply custom names to the following areas:

  • Ticket Category: Rename ticket wizard categories (e.g., Devices/Hardware, Provisioning, Other Requests).

  • Model: Rename specific device models (e.g., Chromebook 11 3189, HP Chromebook 11 G5 EE, Dell Chrome 11 3189).

  • Model Category: Rename model categories (e.g., Laptops, Chromebooks, Computers).

  • Issue Category: Rename ticket categories (e.g., Devices/Assets, Software/Online System, Network/Wifi).

  • Issue Type: Globally rename an issue across all ticket categories.

    • Example: Renaming "Issue not listed" will change it everywhere it appears in all issue categories.

  • Issue: Selectively rename an issue within a specific category.

    • Example: Renaming "Issue not listed" only under the "Desktops > Power issues" category.
